Tile repair in Merritown, Dorset

- Repairs from £95
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Tile repair at your home in Merritown
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Merritown
Landlords, agents and businesses in Merritown
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles

Common questions in Merritown
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you come to Merritown?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Merritown and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
